Consciousness-Expanding Techniques for Personal Growth and Connection
Higher Purpose is dedicated to the transformation of couples and communities through skillfully guided experiences.
Welcome Home
Our Higher Purpose is to serve those who choose to work with cutting-edge methods to become better people and make the world a better place. We call these methods Consciousness Expanding Modalities, and we provide guidance and resources to help you safely navigate and integrate these therapeutic approaches to healing. These Modalities refer to non-drug-facilitated methods such as breathwork and meditation, but also in recognition of the fact that some may choose to work with psychedelic substances such as MDMA.
We believe that having the right information empowers you to minimize the risks and maximize the potential for healing and connection.
We also provide you with strategies for integrating these experiences into your daily life and relationships to enhance healing, aliveness, and joy.
Programs & Support
Couples Work
My book, “Listening to Ecstasy – The Transformative Power of MDMA” was inspired in part by my experience as a therapist guiding couples through healing journeys using this medicine. You can enhance your connection with your partner through the skillful use of all consciousness-expanding modalities, including non-drug techniques like breathwork and I.F.S. Learn to heal and strengthen your relationship in a skillful, safe, and supportive environment.

Training for Licensed Psychotherapists
Gain the skills and knowledge to safely guide, support, and facilitate transformative healing sessions with confidence and care.
Our Vision
Higher Purpose looks forward to a world where all consciousness expanding techniques have been legalized for therapy and decriminalized for personal use. A number of psychedelic substances, including psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, ayahuasca, and DMT, have completed or are undergoing clinical trials, and some states have legalized some uses outside of such clinical trials under state law.
We envision adults having safe access to high-quality medicine to heal, strengthen and celebrate their life, their love, their friendships and their families.
With this vision in mind, we intend to provide best-practices and resources to minimize the risks and enhance the benefits of all consciousness-expanding modalities as the landscape of legal options continues to evolve. And from this, we aim for a world transformed by an ethic of love, equality, generosity and gratitude.
Testimonials
The Psychonaut’s Credo
We aspire to a radically different paradigm of medicine use: Instead of taking a substance to escape reality, we use it to remake it. Instead of taking it to extinguish our pain, we use it to explore it. We don’t indulge in reckless abandon; we attend to our healing and our evolution. We use these tools with reverence: To both seek the information we need for personal healing and social solutions, and for the fun, joy, and rejuvenation we need to pursue those solutions.
